Lord’s Day 30, 2008

I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. Psalme 122:1 (Geneva Bible)

HYMN 21. (C. M.)
A vision of the kingdom of Christ among men. Rev. xxi. 1–4.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

LO! what a glorious sight appears
   To our believing eyes!
The earth and sea are passed away,
   And the old rolling skies.

From the third heav’n, where God resides,
   That holy, happy place,
The new Jerusalem comes down,
   Adorned with shining grace.

Attending angels shout for joy,
   And the bright armies sing—
“Mortals, behold the sacred seat
   Of your descending King.

“The God of glory down to men
   Removes his blest abode;
Men, the dear objects of his grace,
   And he the loving God.

“His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
   From every weeping eye,
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
   And death itself, shall die.”

How long, dear Savior! O how long
   Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
   And bring the welcome day.

—from The Psalms & Hymns of Isaac Watts. Hymns and Spiritual Songs. Book I: Collected from the Holy Scriptures (Soli Deo Gloria, 1997).

Psalme 123
Geneva Bible.
A song of degrees.

1 I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.
3 Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.
4 Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
